The Technology
Our Learning Approach:
Our Learning Approach
The AOB consists of five academies, divided by instrument. Each of the five award-winning AOB musician/teachers presents a separate, encyclopedic curriculum of their instrument. All levels, from beginner to extremely advanced, are covered in the curriculum. The curriculum is divided into dozens of "bite-sized" lessons. These lessons were custom-created especially for the AOB and are not available anywhere else.
How the Classes Work
How it Works:
How It Works
The AOB utilizes ArtistWorks' award-winning Video Exchange approach to online learning. Learning via Video Exchange gives students the unique ability to receive specific feedback and guidance from a virtuosic teacher of their instrument. It works like this: A student enrolls in one of the ArtistWorks' Academy of Bluegrass schools, and begins to work on the material, material that was especially created by their teacher.
